I ordered this bra along with 3 others in a 40DD. All the bras fit except this one was just a tiny bit snug in the band, which seems a little counterintuitive with the whole "back smoothing" thing. It's not unwearable, though, so I'm going to give it a shot, hoping it will relax a little with wear. Other than the size, it's a great bra. Supportive, soft, and comfortable. I'd just recommend putting some thought into what band size to buy!

This bra is so comfortable and fits like it was custom made for me. The cups are cut wide on the sides so the underwires cradle what nature gave me but they don't cut in and pinch me. The cut of the back really keeps the straps from falling off the shoulders. Originally ordered 1 black and 1 nude, and I'm so happy with them that I am going to order 2 more as soon as I finish this review.

I am typically a 36F but generally have trouble finding bras that are both sexy, comfortable, and are supportive while not adding a boost. I have this bra in both black and nude. My only complaint is that the shape of cup is a little oblong. As I write this I'm realizing it's a little difficult to articulate, but essentially it strays a bit from your typical rounded cup shape. That being said, it's not at all noticeable underneath clothing. I like this bra because it's supportive and sexy.

I was very wary of buying a bra online but I'm so glad I did. This bra has turned out to be the best bra I have ever owned. The straps stay on very easily without having to adjust them all the time and it is super comfortable! Besides the comfort which is amazing, the price is great and this bra comes in colors besides the normal white, black and neutral. Loved it so much I have bought almost every color!

This the first time in at least 20 years I've found a bra that's absolutely Perfect!!! The size, fit, design and material far surpasses anything I've ever purchased before. I bought one of these originally thinking I'd see if it fit and if it was worthy. Well, tried it and loved it so ha dc to buy two more. The price is reasonable especially when you have sales or give percentages off often or add free shipping. Never had ordered anything like this online. This site is the best. I am a stylist and have told many people they should check out your site. I told them they would not be discouraged. Love my bras......

This is the exact same bra as the Warner's No Side Effects T-Shirt Bra. I happened to order both and noticed the similarity. They have the same fabric, features, sizing, fit, etc. It's a good, basic smoothing bra, and I do recommend it. But the Calvin bra is six dollars more than the Warner's one.

I love this bra! I had been searching and buying bad or flawed bras for some time. Best features for me are the 1) front closure that is simple to use, 2) the comfortable wider straps, and 3) just the right amount of coverage without adding to my size with padding. I also like the lace at the top, an attractive bonus. I liked the bra so much I ordered another one right away. I HIGHLY recommend this bra!

I purchased this bra without the benefit of being able to try it on in the store. Initially it fit very nicely. I noticed over the course of the day, the band seemed to become looser. I adjusted by tightening the band and that seemed to help. The second wearing, the band just wouldn't stay put. It kept riding up my back, and it was very annoying. Ultimately, I am unable to wear this bra. I have no room to tighten the band any more. While it may smooth my back, it lets my boobs down.

I've shopped bras for years. My biggest complaint is that quality racerback bras just simply don't exist for plus sizes (or you need to mortgage the house to afford one). This is NOT a racerback bra, but the straps do NOT slip down my shoulders!! Bra makers don't seem to understand that just because you have a large cup size doesn't mean your shoulders are four feet across! This bra is a miracle - fits so comfortably, straps don't slide, doesn't give you a lumpy back, and doesn't come up too far in the front (so you can actually wear "v" neck shirts). I bought one, loved it so much, I ordered two more. As far as I'm concerned, I've found my lifetime bra (please, Vanity Fair, don't stop making them!!!)

This Lilyette Jacquard Minimizer Bra is excellent: I'll be purchasing one in every color. The bra is sturdy yet attractive. It's so comfortable I forget I'm wearing it! It isn't easy to find a comfortable bra at this size - I have spent a lot of money searching. But now the search is over.
PS: I don't know why the review template is set to "Adds 2 cup sizes" because this is a minimizer bra. The last thing I'd want would be to ADD!! And it fits true-to-size, not large.

I used to wear Warner's until they stopped making the model I liked; then I went to Wacoal - great bra but the straps cut into my shoulders by the end of the day and, quite often, the underwire broke prematurely or it poked through one side or the other at the top. Then I tried the Spanx Bra La La. The comfort was/is incredible. I wear a 38C. This bra has all the support I need, it's comfy, it looks great under whatever I wear, the straps NEVER cut into my shoulders and I currently own 6 of them. I can move in any way and the bra stays put. Only suggestion: After it comes out of the washer, air dry the bra. Putting it in the dryer does not help it. I give this item an A+++++
